Low Cost Books Novels & Stories

"Honestly, it’s no trouble at all. It wasn't exactly a blow to the budget. The campus bookstore had a clearance bin, so I snagged it for about a credit and a half." The warm smile on Patricia’s face turned into a frozen mask of secondary embarrassment. I could practically see the gears turning in her head. It wasn't that the book was inexpensive—it was the fact that I had just admitted to buying the most powerful Alpha in the Kingdom of Valeria a 'peace offering' that cost less than a cup of cafeteria coffee. To make matters worse, I was standing there bragging about what a bargain it was.

Serenity turned away to put a set of books together for her. Soon, she was done and she handed the stack of books to the young lady, saying, “Your brother-in-law’s school usually uses this set of books. Parents of students from his school bought these same ones from me.” “That should be it, then. How much for the set?” The young lady casually flipped through the books as she asked Serenity. “That’s four hundred and sixty-nine dollars in total. Every subject is included and the price is standard. It’ll cost the same at any other bookstore you go to.”

“No, it’s me. I’m being foolish. Of course you can—” “No,” she cried. I mean, it was incredibly touching that he was willing. But it was the last thing she wanted now that she understood what she’d actually been asking. “I mean, sheesh. Paper books? Who reads those anymore? I bet I could pick this up for 99p as an epub.” He gave a slight shaken laugh. She grabbed her phone and googled. “Well, okay, $11.99 if I pretend I’m American.” “Cole, I don’t mind.”

Luka's question pulled me back from the edge of thoughts. "Right," I replied. "Anyone who weaves tales with words and imagination is a storyteller." Ivik's gaze flickered at mine, before gesturing to the pile of stories that lay scattered on the carpeted floor. "Let's pick a book then." "Is your service expensive?" Luka asked, and my eyes widened in embarrassment. But Ivik's laugh was warm at the innocent question. "Why do you ask, little man?" "Because I have three books for you to read," Luka explained, his fingers tracing the spines of his treasured stories. "So if one story costs fifty dollars, I'll just pick one book. Mom shouldn't pay too much."
